I went and picked them up yesterday. Very good transaction with the seller. What he has is pipes that people return and he modifies. He only leaves in 2 plates. One is towards the front of the exhaust and the other is just behind the hanger. Then he drills holes in those plates. 2 holes is his normal deal. There is also the stock hole which is the small aprx 1" tube that is in the plates. So a total of three holes (1 stock 2 drilled). I rode his 03 TBA and I wanted a little more noise so he kindley drilled a 3rd hole in the plates for me. He did tell me I may have to re-jet with the 3rd hole.
I put them on (sealed with high temp rtv $3.00 walmart) and waited my 24 hours drying time ARGhhhhhh.
I just got back from my ride. I got 2 blocks away. Sounds great. Feels great. I stoped at the corner, Smoke was roaring out my pipes. I freaked. My brand new bike. What the F? Then 2 seconds past and my brain woke up. The oil in the pipes! You know; to make the drilling easier. Duhh. Oh yeah, I gotta burn that out. Whew
I do have alot more getup now. It does do a little poping on decel and I did one time while reving to downshift, feel a little puff under my bootie. So I am now seeing what I have to do. I just ordered some 132 mains from Brent, but they won't be here untill tuesday I imagine. Looks like I will have to re-jet. I'm wondering though if I should re-adjust the mixture first??? What do y'all think? I do have to go in for my 500 mile service later this week. I imagine they will "tweak" me then.
Nice pipes though. They are fine for me and cost a whole lot less too.
